looks really spot on with the black, rear lights look a bit duff though, possibly just the dark red ones or something, cant ehlp but think they are too black.

Other than that nice, mebies could do with lowering and debadging

I agree with whats been said above, though if you like it, fair play.

Only this I don't get is this:

Surely if it's being traded in you'd have been better off keeping it standard. Not many dealers are going to want that sort of car.

certainly very different, each to there own mate, pleased your happy with it :)

Thanks :)

I actaully like it - something different. Although not keen on the rear lights and possibly the rear defuser thing. Although i love the centre exhaust

Exactly - Different, looks better in comparison to a chaved out corsa IMO

Not everything to my taste but none the less nice work oh if u get rid give me the front bumper :D

Fair enough, you can have dibs on the bumper when it goes in april

Yes i love the power its great to drive and pulls well. Personally i just love the soot though :p

A) Wheres the fun in keeping it standard for a year? No fun in that, at the end of the day its going to be sold at some point.

B) My dad can't leave cars "un-modded" for 12 minutes never mind 12 months :blink:

C) Dude everyone learned to drive at some point..

A)Lol fair play, I can't argue with that, my cars far from standard, though it took me a long time to get it that way because of money and insurance :( lol.

B)Cool that your Dad has an interest. I usually get my Dad to help, but it takes a lot of persuasion and "what do you want do to that for?" type questions lol

C) I never said anything about learning to drive :confused:

Anyway on the whole, nice car! And it's good to see someone thinking outside the box![B)]

I like it-well most of it.

I'd change the rear lights, even try and get a set tinted red if thats possible? That, and I'd spray the whole wing mirrors black... Apart from it, its really nice.

Was the aerial difficult to change?
